I agree 100%
With Yang saying Father!!! Father!!! Show them your plan for me!! WTF? Lee's girl sayin show him the light make him a believer. WTF? Granted Im not very religious and I prey approximately never -- but this honestly pisses me off! You think God has nothing better to do than give you a river card?? And who are you to prey to god about a poker game! I mean if its your family's health or some shit ok. Seriously, who do you think u r?? I always like to pull the Larry Merchant/Jim Grey response when a fighter thanks god the victory in the post fight interview. "God didn't win this fight, you did" ... now tell us how. On a separate note did anyone catch when Jerry Yang raises 10x BB with 88 early on in the FT? JESUS

I hated this years televised final table, most of you guys saw the whole final table online live, and during the televised event I feel like they messed up so bad. I mean the last 15 mins in my opinion was ridiculous there were still 4 people to go...WTF! In 15 mins it basically shows 4 hands, each one basically knocking someone out. And during heads up they showed only 1 hand. When I watched the heads up I felt like there were at least 2 or 3 more hands they should have showed before the final one. Anyway I feel like this year's WSOP main event final table sucked on ESPN.
On the side not, the God topic that you guys are talking about. I hate it as much as you guys do. First of all if you believe in God the way I saw Jerry Yang was, WTF would he be playing poker in the first place? Isn't poker gambling for people that are too religious? And gambling is a SIN. And to put God's name in cards is just a shame, and for Jerry Yang to actually believe that God did help him win the whole thing, as he said in the interview is just well plain stupid. |

As a Christian, at least someone who honestly tries to be, this was truly unsettling. It must put non-believers off, to no end. And that is the absolute LAST thing a Christian should want. I think they come off as yahoos, and thats not a good thing. When Christians act like that, or when they scream legalism at the top of their lungs in public (repent, or you will burn in hell......etc), it makes me cringe.
To each his own, but there are much better ways to witness to people about your faith; whatever it may be. Still better to see Jerry Yang, his family, and some good charities get $, instead of Jamie f'n Gold. And yes, some of the plays, with $8M on the line....were just...
